# Tags: Bye-Bye, and write when you find work

I am basically a lazy sod.
However, I have been dutifully tagging my posts, but being less and less enamoured of the process. For me, it is a manual process, involving visits to Technorati and copy and paste.
People would say, well, just write a widget to do it for you.
No.
It's over. And Darren Barefoot finally pushed me over the edge. [[here](http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/archives/2005/09/technorati-tags-are-a-lousy-kludge.html)]
The search tools have to get smarter. It's not 2004 anymore. The obsolesence cycle is getting shorter. The search tools should be able to classify the data without a nudge in the right direction.
